| app_festival is an application that allows one to send text-to-speech commands
 | |
| to a background festival server, and to obtain the resulting waveform which
 | |
| gets sent down to the respective channel. app_festival also employs a waveform 
 | |
| cache, so invariant text-to-speech strings ("Please press 1 for instructions") 
 | |
| do not need to be dynamically generated all the time. 
 | |
| 
 | |
| You need : 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1) festival, patched to produce 8khz waveforms on output. Patch for Festival
 | |
| 1.4.2 RELEASE are included. The patch adds a new command to festival 
 | |
| (asterisk_tts). 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2) My patches to asterisk that provide variable substitution and quoting to 
 | |
| the Asterisk Extension Logic. This is not really a requirement, but without
 | |
| this, app_festival is mostly useless (you could very well use prerecorded
 | |
| voices for static information). 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3) Before running asterisk, you have to run festival-server with a command 
 | |
| like : 
 | |
| 
 | |
| /usr/local/festival/bin/festival --server > /dev/null 2>&1 &
